Fixing Ava

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Never in my life have I seen anything like Fillmore High School.

Usually, schools are completely predictable. You have jocks, cheerleaders, nerds, bullies,and outcasts all gathered in one drama filled, gossip derived place. The typical high school is quite large, with at least 1,000 students, maybe 900 at the least. As for the max number of students.........that never ends. Anyway, In normal high schools, there's a popularity pole with the cheerleaders and jocks on the top and outcasts on the bottom. Kind of like they're two COMPLETELY different species. This probably sounds familiar because it's how high school WORKED. It's only upsetting the balance if it dosen't work like this.

Filmore High School is definitely ' an upsetting the balance' school.

In this school, the nerds are also the jocks, nobody really cares who's on the cheer leading squad, everyone fits in and has plenty of friends, no one is ever bullied, and the word ' outcast ' is foreign to everyone in the school.It might be because there are only 400 kids in the school.

To say I've been petrified of this school for weeks is an understatement. But the scariest things of all?

Creatures named Emily, Hannah, and Brittany.

They were really nice but, again, these people were upsetting the balance. Every day they waited at my locker for me, sat with me in class, and made me sit with them at lunch. This is not how things worked. They're cheerleaders. Cheerleaders trying to make me their friend. The girl that's not even social. Well.....not now anyways.

"Avvvvvvaaaaa! Are you even listening?! " Whined Emily beside me. Personally, I didn't even know she was talking. I just gave a sympathetic smile and shook my head. She rolled her eyes.

"I asked if you wanted to try out for cheer leading." She said, looking reallllyy excited. I thought about it. I used to be a cheerleader but.......I don't know.....I kind of just lost the passion to cheer after my parents died. I'd never been your typical cheerleader anyway. I wasn't the type that flaunted how good my life was or how much power I had in the school. I had it all, I guess. I know that if I try out to be a cheerleader again, I'll seriously hate it. That part of my life is over. It's something I'm never going back to again.

" I think I'll pass," I told her.

"Oh well, your loss, I guess. Anyway, Don't forget to look out for Tommy next period. Look to see if he stares at me, ok?" She said, giving me a stern look. I chuckled lightly. She had the biggest crush on him from what I could tell and she always wanted to know if he stared at her.

"You Betcha!" I said, giving her a wink. She laughed and walked away. I sighed. It was good having friends again, I suppose, but the only friends I knew, turned their backs on me right when I needed them most. It's still close to the biggest shock in my life that they could just turn away like that. The biggest is of course-

OOFS. I ran into someone, knocking both of us to the ground.

"Oh my gosh! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"

"Sorry! Here I'll help you with these-"

We both cut off when we met each other's eyes.

Oh. My. Gosh. Sitting in front of me on the floor with wide eyes was the best looking guy I'd ever seen. No model even came close to him.......he was just so.....perfect. Unblemished. He was wearing a red plaid shirt that buttoned up, the sleeves reaching to the crease of his elbow. You could clearly see his muscles through that shirt, each one not too big but definitely not too small. His hair had golden brown strands mixed with auburn on top of a dark brown layer. All the colors and values flowed smoothly making it the best hair I'd ever seen.

I could see his green eyes gawking at me just like mine were doing as I tried to get the haze out of my head. What the heck was wrong with me?

"I...uh....need to um....get to my class so....ya I'm gonna go," I said, collecting my stuff and speeding as far away from him as possible. MAN, I AM SOOOO STUPID. What was that? I....uh....bla bla...... He's going to think I'm an idiot. Which I am, but I'd still rather him not know that.

I sped into the classroom somehow on time and took my seat. The Guy I'd seen in the hallway hadn't shown up in this class so I was safe for now.

My calculus  teacher started his lecture about this and that and for once, I didn't listen. My mind kept going to The Guy and I couldn't help but smile. He looked so cute with that bewildered expression and-

'Ok, just breathe Ava and get over it, I probably will never talk to him anyway so everything's fine' I told myself trying to calm down. Luckily, It worked. A little.

"Mr. Fletcher?" Asked the office lady from the front of the school. I wonder why she's here, interrupting the start of a lesson.

"Yes, Mrs. Rose," He said trying not to look too annoyed about being interrupted. He failed completely.

"This is your new student, Will. He had a little trouble finding his class this morning so I thought I'd walk him down. Alright, there you go. Goodbye, Mr. Fletcher!! She said before pushing Will forward. After that, she exited, fixing her shirt.

' Will ' turned out to be the boy from the hallway and the guy of my dreams.

Oh please help me.
